One clip shows half naked girls being ordered to dance for a seated Indian police officer. An off-camera voice tells the girls to ‘move back a little, a little more’. They are then told to ‘Do it’; and they start dancing.

The outcry has also reached members of the European Parliament in Brussels.

MEP Sir Graham Watson, Chair of the Parliament’s Delegation to India, has described the Jarawa’s exploitation as a ‘disgrace’, and vowed to keep pursuing the issue with Indian officials.

Similarly, MEP Julie Girling has made her position clear by tweeting, ‘@Survival campaign to end Human Safaris and close The Andaman Trunk Road which currently cuts through the Jarawa Reserve.’

Today Survival International called on the public to write emails through its website urging the Indian government to take immediate action to stop the human safaris.

Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said today, ‘This new video released by the Observer shows current precautions by the Andaman authorities are not working. It’s time the government got to the root of the problem, which is the road: it must be closed.’
